‘War of Wings’ Tells the Story of the First Battle Between Good and Evil

DALLAS - Feb. 19, 2014 - PRLog -- A larger-than-life battle of the angels takes flight in Tanner McElroy’s “War of Wings” (http://warofwings.com/) (March 2014, Brown Books).

After years of pouring over religious texts, McElroy will release his fictional version of how Heaven and Hell were created. His first installment, “War of Wings,” introduces readers to a group of angels – Gabriel, Michael, Lucifer and Arrayah – and the violent clash that tears them apart. Lucifer’s corruption and dogged rebellion against God results in a power struggle of epic proportions centered around two love stories and betrayals.

“War of Wings” features intense storytelling and astonishing imagery – artist Bastien Grivet (http://www.grivetart.com/) put a unique spin on the book’s concept art (http://warofwings.com/Image-Gallery) with his background in films and video games – think “Paradise Lost” by John Milton meets “Lord of the Rings” by J.R.R. Tolkien and “The Divine Comedy” by Dante.

Launching his career in literature is a passion for McElroy, but also to his early fans as the book is one of the recent Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/warofwings/war-of-win...) success stories, raising over $12,000 from 200 backers in just one month to cover promotional costs from Facebook alone. McElroy keeps his readers informed about the writing process with online updates (http://warofwings.com/News-Updates) and behind-the-scenes videos he started the first day of his writing journey.

McElroy lives in Dallas, Texas where he is already working on the second novel in the series, “War of Wings: The Reign,” and finishing up a non-fiction debut “The Stitches,” about his experience with baseball and heartbreak. A former professional baseball player with the Texas Rangers, McElroy is a member of the Screen Actors Guild, Romance Writers of America and the Writers’ League of Texas.
